Nana I read that the MacCanns have been in touch with the family since early on.

When people judge Paul and Coral Jones it's society's need for the 'Just World' hypothesis. They can't tolerate this awful horrible thing happening without almost victim blaming. People need to make sense of it and being incredulous about the time of night it was is a quick way to account for it. Anything but accept that we're not all the same and that dreadful dreadful things happen in this world. It's certainly not April's parents fault.

I just have this view of a man, who hates the police for whatever reason, knowing he has nothing to do with the abduction of April, sitting there saying 'no comment'. I could be very wrong..............

Tiredmumno1 · 05/10/2012 21:27

I agree with you headinhands, none of this is their fault whatsoever, and anyone who tries to lay blame on them, should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Where is that reported, Rubix?

RubixCube · 05/10/2012 22:25

really sorry.Dp had just read this is now a murder enquiry and assumed they found her body.Sorry for upsetting people then

RubixCube · 05/10/2012 22:26

He has avoided the news.So only just seen it.

"I just have this view of a man, who hates the police for whatever reason, knowing he has nothing to do with the abduction of April, sitting there saying 'no comment'. I could be very wrong.............. "

really. this is what you think?
Surely it's just as likely that he is saying 'I don't know anything' because he's innocent?

RubixCube · 05/10/2012 22:29

I've had to explain to him they have not found her yet.

I have read there was false reports of a body.Maybe thats what my dp had heard? Its on sky news twitter comments bit.

0liverb0liverbuttface · 05/10/2012 22:34

I thought he looked normal.

Remember Joanna Yeates landlord and be careful what you say.

The police are not infallible - it worries me they haven't been able to charge him. They could have the wrong person.

pumpkinsweetie · 05/10/2012 22:35

Yes Rubix they were false reports that surfaced from a mans body being found but it was not that of a child

perceptionreality · 05/10/2012 22:39

No, on the news it said that the investigation has become a murder enquiry because of forensic evidence. They will have found something that suggests he was responsible. I'll be very surprised if he is let go tomorrow, that's all I can say.

RubixCube · 05/10/2012 22:42

Poor little baby.I have thought about her all day today.Normal people don't just snatch kids.Who ever done this weather the man question or someone else is a sick sick scumbag.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 05/10/2012 22:44

If he is let go tomorrow, I don't think he would get very far.

buttface I don't think it's because they don't have evidence that they didn't charge him. I think they want him to say where April is. When they charge him, he can't be interviewed anymore some said on another thread.

pumpkinsweetie · 05/10/2012 22:47

Exactly perception-There will be a reason he has been arrested for murder.
I just hope for the sake of the little girls family that they find out soon where she isSad

I'm guessing to that the suspect has been doing a 'no comment' routine because if he were innocent he would have alibis to where he was that night and there would be no reason to keep him....

I just hope that if this all does turn out to be down to him that the family get justice.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 05/10/2012 22:48

they *haven't charged him' not 'didn't'

whistlestopcafe · 05/10/2012 22:49

It is normal to wait until the last minute before pressing charges as they can't interview him once he has been charged. If you look at the majority of cases like this the charges are always brought about in the final hours.

pumpkinsweetie · 05/10/2012 22:50

Exactly whistle

\link{http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/9590582/April-Jones-was-allowed-to-play-out-late-as-a-treat-on-night-she-was-kidnapped-after-glowing-school-report.html\he looks perfectly pleasant here, to be fair}

the detail in that piece of the innocent contact April has had with him quite recently makes it baffling to think that he could have done it.

perceptionreality · 05/10/2012 23:07

Ponders, seriously you think someone who does awful things will look like a demon or a monster?

Ian Huntley?
Joseph Mengele?
Any other serial killer?

You can't tell what anyone is capable of by looking at them. It's quite simply irrelevant.
